,fortunates lodge in them every night,
and pay from 25 to 80 cents for the
privilege, such as it is. A well-known
detective, who assisted in the capture of
the murderer of Lyman S. Weeks, the
Brooklyn man who was shot down in
his own dining room, tells Inc that these
lOudging houses are the resorts of all
classes of criminals. who find in them
excellent opportunities of concealment
after the commission of crime.
Upon the trial of the Weeks
murderer it was shown that a
gang of young raScalS registered at one
of these houses every evening, and about
9o'cl0ch at night went over to Brooklyn
and burglariZed some residence which
had been examined during the day.
After the burglary they returned to the
lodging house and stayed over night,
taking particular pains to show them
selves at an early hour in the morning.
In case of their arrest they call OH the
keeper of the lodging house to prove an
alibi. This is exactly what the muir
derer Of unfortunate Mr.. Weeks tried to
do. after thesPoiice had traced him over
the river to his lodging house. But the
duplicity of his associates convicted him.

Lack of pride is almost SHINING.
Let him linger daily near thee;
Let him all but VOW he loves thee
Tho thou whisper he will hear thee;
But let not his passion move thee.
Let him think thy song the sweetest,
Let him call thy name the dearest,
And thy little foot the neatest-
Till his ardor quite thou fearest.
Let him praise thy newest bonnet,
And the dainty head ii graees:
Touch perhaps the flower upon it,
And admire thy fay'rite laces.
Let him speak of life as growing
Worthier. nobler, since he knew thee;
But beware-there is no knowing
In what light he II shortly view thee.

But, oh foolish maid. remember,

Feeding Euttermilk to Pigs.

In feeding pigs at the Wisconsin az.
ricultural experimental station the
rale has been to allow one pound of
eornmeal to every gallon OF butter
milk. This serves the ration still
strong in the nitrogenous element neo-
essary to promote growth. As the
pigs advance in size and fat is more
desirable than growth, more corn
meal is added. This makes the food
more carbonaceous and causes the
hogs to lay on more fat.
In some experiment made at the
Massachusetts agricultural expert
mental counting cornmeal at
$26 per ton and buttermiik at l6
cents per 100 pounds-it was found
that q pound OF pork, fed at first on a
slop made of IL ounces Of cornmeal
for every gallon OF buttermilk, cost
but A. 6 cents; but that after gradually
increasing the cornmeal until it reach
ed within fraction of two pounds Of
the meal to each gallon of the butter
milk, the cost of making pound Of
pork, amounted to 5.73 cents. This
latter was in the coldest part OF the
winter, and it was thought that the
difference in temperature (requirlng,
as it did, a more carbonaceous food)
accounted in q great measure for the
difference IN the cost OF the pork.
